    Just wondering if 0mg flavorings are getting taken by customs. I want to order some Camel as it is my all day vape.
    Any advice/tips are welcome.

    Flavourings are allowed for import into Thailand. Best to ensure it's correctly customs declared. I seem to remember TPA/TFA have some info on how to do this on there website, and which code to use on the declaration. I can't remember the code, but it's text is something like "Other food ingredients". Google is your friend.

    Labeling and/or declaring flavors as having anything to do with "food" may bring the Thai FDA into the mix. They have very specific dual language requirements, ingredients lists, etc., which should be avoided.

    This has been discussed before on here more than once.

    Really? That's good. I was always afraid to order from abroad. From where did you order from?

    I've ordered a few times from Chefs Flavours Ltd - There's nothing wrote on the box about what it contains though so in that sense, not had any issues so far...

    That's not to say I may not encounter any in the future

    You got that right, don't want to get stuck having to make Thai labels, or passing Thai FDA approval ... might have been "other beverage ingredient", dunno, all info including the correct code was on or linked from the TPA website, and was sure like you say it had been discussed here before.

    You need to declare "Flavour samples for R&D purposes, not for resale".

    What was the average time frame between your order and the package effectively being in your mailbox ?
    Mine doesn't have a tracking number and it's been 3 weeks now :(

    For me? I think I ordered on the 10th at one point, got it on either 14th or 16th :D Costs 10 GBP or approx 500 baht for shipping tracked but you can check it with both postal services that way

    Just had a $50 package seized by customs. Flavours only. No nicotine.

    Same here :(
    I cannot say for sure it was indeed seized as I had no tracking number but it's been about 1 month now so I don't expect it to show up...
